Programming: Rare works by major composers, balanced with familiar masterpieces. Or, the best music of respected composers of our own day and gifted, if lesser-known, names from the past. Almost all releases contain world premiere recordings.CALA has an uncanny knack of searching out original scores before publishers and agents have managed to get their hands on them. - THE AGEArtists: We work exclusively with orchestras of the highest rank, and find virtuoso soloists who are ardent advocates of their repertoire.Rich, passionate tone, dead-true intonation throughout, and virtuosity galore: we should be hearing much more of Stephanie Chase. - GRAMOPHONESound quality: The CALA sound is as much a human achievement as a technological one.The sound is magniflcent-coherent and natural in the best manner of true, unamplified music. The microphone placement is exactly right to capture the total live experience. I would go so far as to say the sound is amongst the finest I have ever heard. - THE SENSIBLE SOUNDPresentation: The care taken with the design, art-work and programme notes mirrors the attention paid to the music itself.Excellent notations, and superior art from early masters to contemporary painters and photographers. - NEWHOUSEThe CALA credo: Each record must be a complete experience.This is a most stimulating pair of discs. - PENGUIN GUIDE TO COMPACT DISCS
